Secrets of Cavendon

October 15, 2017
In the aftermath of WWII, the Ingham and, by extension, Swann families find themselves confronting the challenges of maintaining their massive, and massively expensive, Cavendon estate. London couturier Cecily Swann Ingham can no longer financially feed the Cavendon coffers and dreads telling her husband, Miles, of her business failure. Her sister-in-law, Lady Daphne, bristles at the commercial changes Cecily has wrought to keep the estate afloat, and her angry departure from Cavendon is notable for how out of character it is. Her daughter, Alicia, fears she may be hiding a serious illness, but Daphne has exiled herself to Switzerland and isn't saying. Alicia, however, is so caught up in the heady days of a heated romance with her heartthrob producer, Adam Fennell, that she is completely blindsided when his avaricious ambition threatens to expose centuries-old Cavendon secrets. Through a rich trove of characters who seem to be magnets for high drama, Bradford (The Cavendon Luck, 2016) furthers the Cavendon saga with intricately textured tales of passion and betrayal.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)

Bradford continues her No. 1 New York Times best-selling "Cavendon Chronicles," which details events surrounding two families living in a grand home in England's northern reaches. It's 1949, a new generation of Inghams and Swanns have taken over, and the families must pull together as romance, scandal, and maybe even murder threaten their future.
